We dont want it either !\nA madmans hammer isnt creating it is in deed destroying

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. The strategy is to destabilize the country, in the hopes of creating a desperate public that will somehow either elect a pro MAGA government or allow the US to march in and establish a kleptocracy.

We don't want this either. And we're sorry for the disastrous man and his many, many misdeeds.\n\nSigned, USA

we the American people don't want this either. it's only the Trump administration that is asking for this . thank you for your understanding Canada we the people stand with you as well.

We the majority of Americans do not want a trade war either and agree that fentanyl was just the 'excuse' used. Thank you for being such a good neighbor and partner in peace. I am sorry that you must do that which needs to be done, and I pray the good Americans and good Canadians will endure!

WE DON’T WANT UT EITHER!!! Dump The Orange Man

Love to Canada from Washington State. We don't want this either. I have been crying inside ever since Garfield staged that coup On Jan 6th, 2010. Guess what. The American courts said Garfield doesn't get Presidential Immunity for his actions on Jan 6th because he WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE TIME OF HIS CRIMES. Little by little . . .

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

most of us Americans want this either..love to Canada

We don't want it either!

We don't want this either, but a few dense people voted this foolish wannabe dictator as president so unfortunately we all have to suffer for their stupidity. Trust if I had the financial funds, I'd pack my bags and move to good ol' Canada.

This is such an idiotic self-imposed disaster. Trump is either crazy, stupid, or both. What is his goal here?

So many of us Americans don't want this either. We're so frustrated and unhappy that our closest ally, Canada, is being treated this way. Thank you for recognizing it's the government and not the American people and that they're hurting us as well. ?

We don’t want this either. ~the American people

Before everyone loses their mind over the grandstanding on either side… They should take some time to research the import/export world. If Trudeau thought he had the upper hand in this, he would have dropped the hammer. He doesn’t. The US economy will find a workaround before the 21 days are up, and Canada will have even less of a leg to stand on.

All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

Please don’t use “they”. We the people of the United States do not want this either. It is only President Trump who is evilly doing this. We are suffering too.

american here, most of us dont want this either. at least those of us that have a brain.

50% of Americans didn't want this either but thank you for wearing a suit so Trump can take your concerns and suggestions seriously. 50% of Americans are now fashion designers and follow blindly until our current administration policies effect them negatively.

Canada has taken advantage of us for too long - Either play fair, or pay

We Americans do not want this either……. Can’t we throw old Donnie into the sea ?, like, right now? I understand, Canada ??. I stand with you and Ukraine ??.

This Canadian minister is a liar and his people dont like him either.

He says the CANADIAN people don’t want this. Likewise, the AMERICAN people don’t want this either. Unfortunately we didn’t get a vote in this decision.

We don’t want this either!!! I’m devastated as an American. Inflation will go up at least one percent aside from goods and services and the auto industry might be irreparably damaged by this along with our relationships to our allies ?

As an American I want to apologize and encourage Canada to stay strong. Remember there are millions of us here in America that do not want this either and want nothing more than for this to all be a bad dream.

Canada. I'm sorry for this bs administration. I don't want this, either.

W don’t want this either Mr. Trudeau. I can’t thank you enough for carrying about the people, the ones that saw this coming and the ones who chose to ignore the facts. Thank you Canada and the other people of the world that are supporting and praying for us. ?

Americans don’t this either! Trump is an awful president!

Remember, lunatic MAGA voters voted for this. They were told this would happen and they refused to listen. Bunch of bigoted racist hateful assholes who ruined the American economy and its trade relations with its allies. Just know that tariffs are the least of your problems. The sentiment from across all American “former” allies is to completely boycott American goods and services. And that is not going away regardless of whether tariffs on either side are dropped. You want fascism, good for you. The rest of then sane west ain’t with you. Get rid of your pro Putin fascist Nazi saluting government, then we might be open for negotiations.

I am American and we don't want this either.

It's not my president. I don't want this either.

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

Trump is either actually insane or he has been compromised by Russian intelligence and is a Russian agent. Canada, we're proud of you.

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????

I am an American and I kindly as all world leader to stay on Trump's neck!!! Dont let up! Keep your foot on that man's neck till we can get him out of office. We citizens who didnt vote for this will pay the price. Its a burden that will hit us all... but its our burden to carry now. Dont let up. We dont want this either. We love our allies. And the best thing you can do for us, is fight back. We remain neighbors, friends and allies. Do what you must Canada. We understand and we are sorry.\n\nI, an American, stand with the Ukraine and Canada ?? ??

The President of the United States is trying to destroy America economically in my opinion. Don’t take it personal Canada. He’s fired over 20,000 people from their jobs with absolute disregard in disrespect. He left to get rid of which employed 7000 people! Trump led the charge to get rid of TikTok and then he left Office and it happened but he’s the one who started it all 7000 people lost their job jobs. He’s cutting Services to all American people with all these job losses and he doesn’t care!! He just cares about his wife, Elon, and making America white again! To start trade, wars is crazy when we’re just recovering economically from the pandemic, but he doesn’t care because being the president has made him rich because he breaks every law!! I’m so sorry Canada that we have so many idiots in this country that voted for this man because they’re racist and they wanna make America white again. It’s not about making America great it’s about making it white. Unless you do one of those so-called what he calls black jobs. Don’t really need to explain anymore than that. Either know some history or don’t. Hopefully this idiot will either change his mind when he realize what a catastrophe he’s caused or he’ll be gone soon!! From an American, who did not vote for Trump and never would vote for Trump with good reason!!

As an American, half of us don't want this either...

I stand with Canadians! We love the Canadians! So sorry for the Trump's wacky policies! We are not happy here either!! He is not my President! Pat in FL

?????We don't want it either. Long live Canada! Long live the American people! God bless America and Canada!

The Canadians are not anti-American. They are against our current government. Many Americans are not happy with these policies either. Its going to cause massive inflation.

That is a leader right there. And he doesn't look like a fat tub of garbage either.

We dont want this either...get trump out of office!

Those of us who did not vote for Trump do not want this either. My last two out of three vacations were spent in Canada. I hate to see our friends treated this way. Don't think we all agree with the way Trump is governing.

We don’t want it either

I am an American. I completely agree with PM Trudeau. I don't want this either. Imo Trump Should be brought up for TREASON. I don't like what has been happening to America. I would rather be in Canada!! Blessings to you. \n?????
